Kyrie is a weird dude. It's like he takes these mandates as a personal attack on him and has dug his heels in even further.

I wouldn't say "dodged" because quite a bit of damage was done by Kryie, but I really am glad that he is no longer part of the team.

No reason for him to retire. The Nets are telling him to stay home aka he still gets paid to sit home. I'm sure he'll be fine with that.

KD chose to play with the conspiracy theorist over Steph. That will always be completely wild.

I honestly have no idea how this statement will influence Kyrie's behavior. Does he bite the bullet and take the vaccine now that it's clear that KD and Harden signed off on this, or does he dig in his heels even further? Neither would surprise me. It's impossible to predict this guy.

Yup. Makes too much sense. Kyrie playing for Doc makes sense too.

At this point, Kyrie is probably my least favorite player of all time.

Both their trade values are in the toilet. Simmons for obvious, on court related reasons, and Kyrie because there's a credible threat that he would retire if traded from the Nets. Why would any team give up assets when that's a very real possibility
